Your UA-cam series and website are always interesting and timely. I especially liked your take on How could God intervene in the Universe. I would love to hear you talk to two US scholars who have strong and beautifully reasoned opinions on this very subject, Mr. Nader Saiedi, a professor at the University of California and Adib Masumian, Manager of Global Learning Technologies at AMD.
Mental masturbation can be fun, but speculations take you nowhere. On the other hand, listening to the Mind that is All will take you EVERYWHERE. "God" is the Mind that is ALL. And the Uni-Verse (literally One-Word) is a single empowered THOUGHT of that Mind. (For that's what a WORD is - an empowered thought.) My book explains fully, and my UA-cam channel has a lot of insights....including the answer to the coronavirus - just a "click" away. And if you wonder how I know all this, Elijah has returned and the Tribulations have begun....
@@colinjava8447 We know a God exist. We call it Aliens. You hate the term “ God “ cause it implies religion or maybe a judgmental being that will hold you accountable .
The most loving thing God could give us would be..............our freedom. In order to do this God had to hide. Because if God revealed himself as he really is, even instantaneously, we'd be so stunned, shocked, awed, and terrified we might forget we exist. We would have No Choice but to acknowledge him. And our freedom would be gone. So God hides and our freedom is preserved. But God had to hide. Otherwise there would be nothing BUT God. Maybe that's why God allows the cosmos to look like it doesn't need him.
Indeed, in his return just his mere visual presence alone will cause every one to fall to their knees and cry out in fear. Moses just catching a mere glimpse of his aura or glory left his face shinning.
I believe we are all made of the same mass components as the standard model may describe that God established through the initiation of energy, "Let there be light." The universe unfolded in order for God to have relationship with his creation. To love and to be loved back. Is it perfect? How would we know perfect unless something was imperfect? Is it good? How would we know good if something was not good? Do we have choice? How would we know choice unless there was the opportunity for choice? God can use quantum fields of energy or vacuum or other medium to discern our prayers or intentions, to receive praise or to intervene as God sees fit. To have a grander plan knowing he will ultimately take care of us, his intermediary creations. To keep us striving for our own development and interest while having boundaries we cannot penetrate. What a wonderful experiment for God and we, who have consciousness, get to participate.
This is such a perfect series for me at this time of my life that I feel somewhere back there...somewhere that I can't remember...God and I created this series...only to come into recognition at the right time of need...thank you Father for such perfection in a seemingly imperfect world...Divine Love has always has met and always will meet..every human need.
Thank you, please be part of firts contac phone and may have to see each otters the offert it's on your side. Email me I give you my number philipmart166@gmail.com
I’ve noticed the idea of God usually starts from the a priori assumption that nothing is the normal state and requires an outside entity to create something. But the opposite seems as valid. That something is the natural state of the universe and nothing requires an outside force.
"Something is the natural state of the universe" Lol how would it be otherwise? It's just a tautological statement. Nothing is the natural state of the universe? Something (the universe) that has a state of *being* that is *nothing* just doesn't exist... You're like "well it seems that something always existed which was the universe because uhh... clearly the universe exists and is something" What?
@@thebullybuffalo The arguments for God always start from an a priori assumption that the existence of the universe needs to be explained. That without this explanation, nothingness would prevail. Why should that be so? That the universe has always existed, strikes me as equally valid as the statement, God has always existed.
Actually, Ken, as my book explains, the ancient Greek philosopher Parmenides - the father of modern logic - correctly explained how NOTHINGNESS is absolutely impossible. And, as it turns, here's what's going on: God is the Mind that is ALL. And the Uni-Verse (literally One-Word) is a single empowered THOUGHT of that Mind. (For that's what a WORD is - an empowered thought.) The Universe of our perceptions - and our experiential world of LIMITATION - is just a virtual-reality dream-type experience that shall vanish when it's purpose is served. (Which has already occurred, because TIME is an illusion.) We will then return to our LIMITLESS state of Being, where we want nothing to do with such limited dreams. My book explains fully and gives the reason for this experience, and my UA-cam channel has a lot of insights....including the answer to the coronavirus - just a "click" away. And if you wonder how I know all this, Elijah has returned. And the Tribulations have begun....But there's some very good news that hasn't yet been understood by most people, and I'm here to deliver it once again....
@@kencusick6311 the universe eternally existing is an entirely logically possible. It's just that science has shown that the universe began. That's why it needs an explanation - empirically it needs to be explained but there's no logical necessity. The underlying principle is that everything that begins has a cause. If they universe began then it must have a cause. That is the age old argument.
@@thebullybuffalo What you describe as: "science has shown the universe began" ....only means the universe began *in it's current state.* This does *not* eliminate the possibility of existence in other states or forms.
God intervenes by lending us His Voice to guide us out of it. And to ensure that this would ultimately happen, He placed His Voice in our minds. There it patiently waits for us to listen and follow.
@@StallionFernando to be more precise energy and consciousness is everything. Energy also is product of absolute consciousness so consciousness is whole perceptible universe consciousness is component of absolute nothingness. We call that God, nirgun nirakar. Everything originated from that and disappears in that only in cyclic manners.
When we peer out into the Universe with our instruments, we see a violent but structured Universe. From each event, there are infinite possibilities and hence an infinite number of Universes. The uncaused first cause for all these Universes is God and so God does not have to intervene in any of them.
@@georgesolomon9505 The more scientists study and learn about the Universe, a structure emerges that points to a plan. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. Cause and effect leads back to the uncaused first cause, God.
One possibility that wasn’t mentioned is that God intervenes through awareness, not through physical causation. As humans have become more aware, we recognised slavery as wrong, and abolished it, we see animals as sentient, and the environment as fragile and precious - and we act accordingly. We develop compassion. The universe shows no such compassion, so though it can not be separate from God, such a God must have relinquished control for a universe so dispassionate to the pain & suffering of its creatures. Maybe it’s only by relinquishing control, that free will can exist, as sentient beings become responsible as co-creators of the world - for better of for worse.
I agree with this... We the humans, see our selves like something special... Our existing mean nothing for the Universe... When we realize that, probably our behavior will change to better, for us and for our blue planet, wich is our only and real Creator
Not "we", just some of us. The rest is paying a lip service to their illusory God, just in case He is real. Doing good, though, is worth it for the sake of goodness itself.
OK, Let’s get real. England abolished slavery and serfdom after the peasant revolt in 1380s. Slavery in the USA was abolished because the slave states lost the war to continue to use men as slaves. it definitely wasn’t because your god gave anyone awareness. The queen of England at the time along with the ruling class read the book uncle toms a cabin who helped propelled the abolishment of international slavery. So no what you said about god giving man awareness about slavery is just poppycock.
I think God intervenes in my life a lot of times. You know it, some things suppose to happen but it didn't because some great force just cloaked you. You know it to yourself. There is no doubt because You can't lie to yourself that it is not what suppose to happen but it seems you have something to do yet so you are still here. I try to find answer myself. That is why I'm listening here. But no doubt there is great force "Personal God" that intervenes in my life.
I wonder why this god intervened in your life but, for example, not in the life of a baby with cancer? Were your needs greater? Did they not deserve it but you did? Or why he cures some children with cancer or other illness (but not all children, just some) yet never, literally never, cures an amputee. Is god unable or has a bias against them?
These Lutheran theologians are really, really great. ( The first one was the best.) I think Dr. Kuhn has finally found the right answer to his lengthy investigation. The answer to his spiritual search is obvious. Dr. Kuhn should join the Lutheran denomination!!!
I love closer to truth and it’s host Robert, but I can’t help but think this question of how can God intervene in the universe he created. It’s kinda silly if you believe he exist and is the creator of it. Then of course he can at will. I mean if you created something, wouldn’t you be able to interact or affect it at will in some way or fashion? 😳
The ultimate question is not whether aliens exist or not, but whether God exists or not. God is the ultimate being, and confirmation of his existence would be the game changer.
And how do you know the difference between "mystical experience" and a psychotic episode? If you have no evidence then it is not "Knowledge" but a fuzzy feeling you like.
How I love for humanity seen what I see, same of those places I don’t even know what I see. I know the reason we are here, the universe is like human process, we are in are on, the creator (light) plans life deep in darkness. In this life and the next one stay in the light.
I like how he said "it must be general in scope" 3:00 Can you imagine if "blessings" were individually tailor made? Divine Classism.. Im sure some actually believe this..
They are both tailor made and general in scope. God can do specifics and tailor made and general all at the same time. Humans cannot do this so we don't think god can either, but God can.

When we assume the Beginning as ABSOLUTE we have to understand it as beyond Time , Space and From. It is neither matter nor non matter. It is beyond existence of the Universal laws. Everything appeared after that . That Absolute Nothingness which includes Everything is beyond our mental perception but not beyond Spiritual experience.
The fact that our mind can't grasp a concept, doesn't mean something MUST have happened in a way we understand. As long as the fundamental randomness of some quantum effects is not disproved, and if spacetime and matter are emergent like some recent studies seem to suggest, causality can't be assumed blindly.
@@StallionFernando okay. Consiousness was thinking about what it was for a very long time, until it thought about something else. It thought about that thing alot moving it and multiplying it creating the fabric of the universe, space and time. As it thought about the thing it combined that special stuff in stars and blew them up (light is a portal or conduit of consiousness) creating the first few elements we see. As time passed and masses climped together stars formed again and exploded again creating the rest of the elements. Our sun and the stuff around had just the right mix or temp, magnetic sphear, and volcanic activity. Many elements mixed in layer upon layer of sediment small chains of molecules collected and assembled in the salt, water, and muck. From there forward thinking drove our precursor forms further and further looking toward the future more and more. Now we think we have individuality, our own consiousness, and that we are separate. Every now and again one gets a glimpse of the true nature of reality ✨ every now and again
It seems to me that we decide what God does. We want a God who loves us, therefore God loves us. We want a God who gives us nice things, therefore God gives us nice things. We want sinners to be punished for ever, therefore God punishes sinners for ever.
Not really. It depends on how any person or religion see's God. People view God differently and project things onto Him. But do not mistake human projections for actual facts. God exists but not necessarily in the way that humans and religions have projected Him to be.
In the Quran 1. the material world is an illusion. 2. Allah relates that he (for lack of another pronoun) 'created your shadow' and THEN created the sun as a proof for it (the shadow). IOW all the images, all the representations available were created independent of each other. The beauty of that is that the illusion is so complete as to make us believe we know the causes. and 3. Allah is here without being here through the laws of the creation. These laws are inviolable by us regardless of the mistaken assumption we can violate them and 'get away with it'. Allah is in control of the creation via these laws that we do indeed study as if they are our religion (science). Does Allah cause things to happen outside of this context...well it doesn't matter and it is not a question anyone can answer and really, asking it is nonsense. Anyone that asks this and expects a tangible proof is a fool. It's fine to ask but it's not going to advance anyone's understanding. "Then He turned towards the heaven when it was ˹still like˺ smoke, saying to it and to the earth, ‘Submit, willingly or unwillingly.’ They both responded, ‘We submit willingly.’" 41:11. Establishes that whether you like it or not, you will submit. To do so willingly is to submit with reward and to submit unwillingly is to suffer the consequences. So that is the intervention however I am sure that the questioner here isn't really after answers but enjoys the illusion he has created of being an 'active seeker'.
I should add that to ignore the muslims in this video is becoming the norm. Interesting. I should add that ignoring the last message that the Creator sent is seriously wrong. It's the best part of the story. Allah left two things for you to refer to when asking all these questions. 1. the Quran and 2. the Ahlul Bayt. I am sure that none of these people questioned here is able to give you any real good solid answers and well, maybe Kuhn doesn't want them or for you to have them either.
The tooth fairy's not real? I put my tooth under my pillow and the next morning there was money there. Something did that! So how can you say the tooth fairy isn't real? Oh so you're just going to say the tooth fairy was just my parents. Yes you are correct. So it's not that the tooth fairy wasn't real, it's just that what I assumed the tooth fairy to be was incorrect. So maybe God is real, but but he has a little bit different than many people expect. I don't buy the Trinity. I think that's silly. But in an infinite universe with infinite possibilities, how can there not be a God?
God is not the best and yet not the stupidest concept. I mean how is it any different than simulation theory. It might not be in a specific way as portrayed in many religions. But it's likely that all of the fundamental things have emerged from a single thing.
Love it. The UA-cam medium and your website really bring out your treasure trove of interviews. I spend lots of time on both. Appreciate your way of always sharpening your questions, your constant wrestling with those you ask, others who are also deep obsessive thinkers in their own way. U highlight the nuanced differences that I find necessary if one wants to get CTT 🙂🌞😺🙉👻👽!
Your mistake' is thinking that God has to do things. What has he done for us lately. God has allready done his part. It's up to you' now. To go to him. You are the one who needs to make some changes. He gave you the choice' to or not to. You don't have to' if you don't care about your self. After me die, there are three option that you will have. As to where you will go. It's up to you, right now to make the right choice. I love all of you.
Because it’s a plausible answer to all kinds of existential reasoning and angst. People are religious because religiousness helped our ancestors be ‘more fit’ to survive and have offspring.
@@Lolux1701 Think about this, the episode begins with the Host asking a question about god. Next he asks the question to myriad god believers and gets a bunch of different answers. It ends with the host saying he doesn't even know if god exists. He listened to what they had to say and was unconvinced... what's that about?
This is almost a self-contradictory question. The word 'God' is usually taken to mean the creator of the universe, so if there is a 'God' to talk about in the first place they probably created the universe. Why then if some thinks 'God' can create a universe they can't modify it where and when they choose? The question really is "Do you think there is a God who created the universe or not?"
Up to 7:29 the Herr Professor describes a deistic God. Then it's "God relates to" the world. I ask you, can that 'relates to' have any meaning at all if it doesn't mean some kind of intervention? Can God intervene in the world without contradicting what we think of as the natural world? I think not.
Yes, any time the creator of creation wishes. But what would such an intervention look like, I think, is a better question. Have we thought through the real nature of our existence, does it look like we have a purpose, or a mission and would intervention be limited enough to try to help us along our path without jacking around too much with free will... would breaking the free will paradigm break the whole thing? We are not here and sentient for no reason.
These two different perspectives "god created it perfect and does not need to intervene, comes before all sin" (1) vs. "god created it but needs to intervene and wants to teach his creation, to refine it" (2) - reminds me in quantum physics. There we can not decide whether the state of the system is generated by a direct signal from the subject (in an antirealistic way, like a creator)(2), or if the signal comes from the beginning of all causal chains (in a realistic way, like a creation)(1). Quantum formulism forbids this decision, says it is both, both different approaches with the same empirical results. 🤔
The question itself presupposes that it is a necessity that God needs to intervene in the physical universe. If you accept that God's purpose is for us to love him, then God need not necessarily intervene in the physical universe. He could simply sit back and soak up the love we send him in our prayers.
This, your channel, is a wonderful way to reveal more and more to me, the theory, that each individual is the product of his influenced informations, education, experiences, and biological evolution. What does it has to do with God? A lot, God is religion, the word God is related with religion. The Creator has nothing to do with religion, in a sense that religion was make believe and written down by men. It's legitimate to believe if someone wants to believe as long as there is no true knowledge what is true. And it's also legitimate to doubt and search for the truth about God or a Creator. Most religious people lose their faith, when they lost someone they loved so much and they needed God to help and they were badly disappointed. That's the moment you doubt the existence of a taught God of love and kindness. I think the teachings, all kinds of teachings, have manipulated us to a worse way of life, but there's no evidence of a better contrary, unless we realize and learn new ways how to see our world with the true vision and not a told vision from a wrong perspective. We could then, come closer to the truth about the purpose of our being and maybe answer the question why our universe was created. The only one evidence that we have, is that everything has to be the way it is. For what reason, is an open question. We can observe an automation of everything, although within can changes happen, it's still the automation. Thankyou for your contribution.
Southgate is right in saying that a "creature" as the universe, needs to be contingent on God, in order to be a creation. Otherwise, something that needs nothing to be and exists by nature of its own essence, it is God and not a creature. Everything that comes to exist, it is contingent or dependent by definition in its coming to be and function by something else.
Are you ready to go beyond mere intellectual speculation? God is the Mind that is ALL. And the Uni-Verse (literally One-Word) is a single empowered THOUGHT of that Mind.

18:26. "God is really doing everything." I find that tantamount to saying ' There is really no nature, no things happening because that is the way they have to happen by their nature. So the world really is a stage. God is the stage and prop manager. No, not even that solid. More like a mirage. If it is a mirage at least God doesn't have to personally hoid up every refrigerator magnet in the universe.
Death is an awful enemy for sure, but I hope I can convince you that GOD didn't take your son. In fact he promises to resurrect or bring back to life everyone who has died. Not in heaven, but right back here on earth, as a human. Sickness, old age and death was never Gods purpose for humans. Satan, Adam and Eve's rebellion caused that, but God immediately set a plan in motion to undo what they did. So you will see your son again. Can I show you the scriptures and reasoning that support this?
@@joeprogrock First of all I’ll say that I know that this doesn’t seem possible. I didn’t believe the first time I heard. It took a few years for me to fully come to understand and believe it, But I’ll try to keep this simple. Adam and Eve were created to live forever. God warned them though that they would die if they ate the fruit from one tree. Genesis 2:17 The tree just represented Gods right to say what is right and wrong. So when they ate the fruit, they in effect were saying that they could decide for themselves what was right and wrong and they didn’t need God. God could have just destroyed them and started over, But they wouldn’t have solved the issues that they raised or whether they could live without God, so God in effect said “ok, you think you can live without me, I’ll allow time to see if you can, But because they disobeyed they eventually did die just as God said they would. Since they were the first two humans, they passed on that imperfection To all of their children up until our time. Everyone now dies because of what they did, because we inherited sickness, old age and death from them. Since that wasn’t Gods original purpose for us, He set in motion a plan to end it. Thats where Jesus comes in. He stayed faithful as a perfect man until his death to undo What Adam did. God promises to bring the dead, including sinners, back to life on earth (not heaven) for a chance to live again. Psalm 37:29; Acts 24:15 There is a lot more to this, so if you want to understand better check out this article: www.jw.org/en/publications/books/good-news-from-god/what-hope-for-the-dead/
Perhaps like most Christians you have a false perception of God. God never promised you would not suffer in this life, in fact most of the characters are plagued with suffering. It will either draw you closer to him or further away, if you push God away then all your pain and suffering becomes completely meaningless, only by seeking him out with suffering have a proper significant purpose.
Timeless means not to be not in time. God is already, is looking from future back on us, in the other side God will come, so it is both. It already is and will come..
Humans initially had relied on their imaginations to explain the world and its phenomena as they had no other tools. They have done a great job. We, believers and the non-believers who live in third millennium, are still dealing with their legendary work in different ways and methods. Is it bad that we still attached to the childhood of human mind? it depends on how and why!
Fatin Noor I agree. I would add that all religions want and have written into their texts a God what provides results, that is, a God that will free them from bondage, will be on their side when enemies lurk, will bless them with prosperity, will be faithful to them as long as they praise and believe in him and most importantly a God who promises another chance at life. What if God didn’t do any of those things? What would people feel about such a God? We have basically conjured up a God that is tailored to satisfy our needs.
Except the peculiar thing is that we still find a deeper meaning in child-like imagination and legends than the modern tools can provide. They have created a new legend and we are still like children.
I ask God what is his plan. If I don't let him lead me, something happens but in time, I have to go to this process of his plan again. I have to follow so I won't go in the same process. I try to understand his plan in my life so I won't be going through things again and again and learn what he wants.
The traditional Judaic/orthodox Christian/Platonic/Western answer to this question is that the act of creation itself is perpetually total interaction with the universe at all times, since God transcends the universe and time. So, the way the question is formulated, presupposing a superbeing that stands in relation to the universe in such a way that both are subject to a higher order of nature as the medium of interaction, is logically clearly not the traditional definition of the monotheistic creative God.
There is a plan. Just because our perspective is tiny and we don’t understand the seemingly nasty atrocities committed daily, we should not conclude that our father has rejected his creation. We should remember that the enemy adulterated his creation at the beginning. Intelligent design from our father is beyond the puny claims from science and their convoluted evolution fantasy.
To believe in God is to believe in sentiment. To take the anti-theistic stance is to believe in meaning, ie, the meaning of words. My definition of sentiment is, what should be true is true.
This video isn't about convincing people of the existence of god. It rather presupposes his existence to inquire more how he (metaphysically) could intervene in the world. Have you even watched the video?
Fussing about the god question is of limited utility. It would be more productive to ask how (and why) anything at all can come from nothing. The reason that this question should take precedence is because God himself can only be possible if the void allows it. What is it that compels virtual particles to precipitate from the void? What characteristics must virtual particles acquire, before they become the atoms and molecules that manifest, across time, as matter? Once we satisfy ourselves about the nature of the void, the god question becomes almost incidental. If God exists, then he is beyond our comprehension anyways. To believe or not to believe should be of zero concern, as it was for the Buddha.
You're correct about the uselessness of speculation, Troof.

Maybe God can't intervene in the world. I don't think God can mess with free will. He can't do that. That's our choice. We are free to choose our own destiny and God can't interfere with that. But perhaps, God can help us, and instruct us, and show us good things to do. I think of God as like the coach on a basketball team. We are the players on the team and we are on the court of life, God can't interfere with the game, all the coach can do is coach from the sideline. The outcome of the game is up to us. The magic, is that somehow God still manages to always have the winning team even though he is stuck with imperfect players like us.

@@anthonycraig274 All very good questions but please don't compare us to animals. They behave with much more integrity than do humans. This discussion will demand all your imagination possible even though I will be dealing with a LOT of facts. Fact 1: there are two types of people - non believers and believers. They can also be described as being who they 'think' they are - JUST a human(Ego/Fear) OR who they REALLY are (loving fearless eternal souls). Love (eternal fearless souls) will Always Always do the right thing. Fear(Ego) confuses the mind and is the source of ALL heartache and misery on the planet. One of the factors that makes the concept of a world without money difficult for some is their level of consciousness and awareness. Another is their beliefs. If you believe that something is not possible - then it cannot be had. If you believe that it is possible - then it is completely doable. We are creators and life has no choice but to show up the way we believe it will. From a Spiritual point of view, there are 3 truths that need to be realized that are presently required for a higher consciousness and awareness. 1) We are all ONE. What hurts you hurts us ALL. What helps you heals us ALL. 2) There is more than enough for EVERYONE. This is easy to see if all resources were shared equitably. 3) in this life you have NO obligations. You have ONLY opportunities. You did enough by just being born. Is this enough for a starting point in our conversation? The subject is vast but with a little imagination, it is doable. Please give me some feedback to this so far. I need it to know what direction to go from here. PS. I am a believer. I have no choice. God has worked miracles through me with witnesses and many more without witnesses. I interact with Him everyday. In January 2008 He gave me a job description that says " I am sending you out by the Power of my Spirit to Release those bound by Fear, to Proclaim Forgiveness, and to Show Love to ALL men". I don't have to like you but it is necessary that I love you. The greatest stumbling block for mankind is all it's Egos and the Fear that is inherent with Egos. I look forward to a conversation or debate with you - your choice. Bless you.
The question "how could God intervene in the Universe" denotes a belief in separation. When one studies physics, biology or even theology (comparative religions) it is obvious that any separation is ultimately illusory. All is one. My suggestion is to read the Pratyabhijnahrdayam coupled to the teachings of Jesus or the Gospel of Thomas.

God makes sense because God is the essential nature of making sense, that is the essential nature of the process of the nervous system of the human species, through the human brain, trying to understand the physical universe in which that nervous system exists. If God is the description of that process God will always exist, and its existence will always make sense. I'm not saying this is the case, it's just an observation.
Here's some stuff for you to ponder, Fernando: God is the Mind that is ALL. And the Uni-Verse (literally One-Word) is a single empowered THOUGHT of that Mind. (For that's what a WORD is - an empowered thought.) The Universe of our perceptions - and our experiential world of LIMITATION - is just a virtual-reality dream-type experience that shall vanish when it's purpose is served.

Dear Mr. Kuhn, There is no meaning in all these concepts I analyse, viz. "Free will, consciousness, Truth, ... ", so long as I haven't defined "I" as a particular sequence of particles and specify a definite criterion of proof related to satisfaction of my needs to verify the accuracy of the theory I assume as to the origin of those particles.
What is the difference between nature and our conception of nature? However that is, God intervening in the universe destroys nature, or our conception of nature. So, what would a non-natural universe have to be, in the broadest sense?
Psychedelics do indeed help a person to see the illusory nature of perception. And they can give you insights, for example, to the fact that everything is alive - everything in this Universe is conscious. But psychedelics won't answer the most important question, the question of WHY; the question of MEANING. But as one who has found that answer I can tell you that "God" is the Mind that is ALL.

@@tomrhodes1629 You are just another scammer, trying to seduce the gullible into buying your stupid book, or clicking on your stupid channel.

You should be ashamed of yourself.
Forgive me if I'm wrong. I"m no expert here, but as men of faith. How can any of them answer questions without reverting to scripture? Without doing so makes it 100% their take on the question. Granted, scripture doesn't answer everything, but it has some answers about what God does.
It would still be 100% their take, since interpretations of scripture are entirely subjective. That's because scripture is often ambiguous, contradictory even, and one has no choice but to see it through the lens of their own language, context, and understanding of the world, all of which are completely different than the original authors'.
That's actually not an option here because the question presupposes the existence of God. If you allow the answer "There is no God" then the question becomes moot which means the entire video is a waste of time. But interesting how someone who doesn't believe in God takes an entire 30 minutes out of their day to watch a video about something you don't believe exists.
Baz Strutt - Galaxy brain, the video title is: "How could God intervene in the universe?" The popular atheist meme "There is no God" would be a nonsense option.
Why do atheists care so much about God? they seem to put a lot of effort into trying to persuade others about something that they don't think even exists. If God doesn't exist and God isn't a big deal then why do they care so much? They seem to care enough a lot about something they don't care anything about. Why is that?
Dan Kuchar Simple.. The believers exist... And they want laws, government policy and school curriculum based on a god they can’t demonstrate exists..

@@bazstrutt8247 Well I've taught school for decades and done it very successfully without bringing religion into it. So I don't see a problem. Your child can still learn the two plus two equals four. I don't see God in that equation anywhere. You can still go to school and learn a lot of things, I don't see where God is involved in that. at least in the United States, There is a separation of church and state. And that is a wise choice!
For God not to be God, God could not do anything. If God does not exist ,there is nothing to be done. Assuming God did not create the universe then God should not do anything with the universe. Not what! Not how!

Do you always trust your intuitions? Are quantum mechanics and General Relativity intuitive to you? Based on research, it's more plausible that this Universe had a beginning, rather than being eternal. Which is more plausible? 1. The non temporal, non corporeal, eternal God created the Universe or 2. The Universe created itself.
@@jy1733 Feelings and intuitions are not reliable in understanding reality. The brain easily can fool us. It was intuitive that objects are solid, the Sun revolves around the Earth, etc. Research does show that it is more plausible that OUR universe had a beginning BUT QM and GR point strongly to the plausibility of an eternal multiverse. This makes it plausible that OUR universe spontaneously came from quantum inflation. Do you question claims? How do you verify that your beliefs are true?
@@stinkertoy4310 , it's still inconceivable. We only know our physical/material reality. There is no evidence for anything else. Put that against the inconceivable and the theist has quite an uphill chore in supporting belief in a supernatural.
You're an immaterial entity who is identifying with matter because of intimately interacting with it. The power of interaction is "prāṇa," which is explained here: www.ashishdalela.com/2017/01/28/what-is-prana/
For example, the zoonosis of the corona virus is the logical consequence of our (unworthy) behavior (towards the living), and this is the same as the (direct or indirect) "will of God". "God" is the life itself ("I am the life!") which can pull itself even out of the nothing, and it organizes itself, for which we are something like building bricks. It "speaks" even in a bush to us and says: 'Do u know, who I am? I am the eternal life!' And it said what it is going to do. So, how Newton warned: be careful with your judgment and conclusions about the future abilities of the living! In science the real living is already subtracted from the calculation! ☝️

The most loving thing God could give us would be..............our freedom. In order to do this God had to hide. Because if God revealed himself as he really is, even instantaneously, we'd be so stunned, shocked, awed, and terrified we might forget we exist. We would have No Choice but to acknowledge him. And our freedom would be gone. So God hides and our freedom is preserved. But God had to hide. Otherwise there would be nothing BUT God. Maybe that's why God allows the cosmos to look like it doesn't need him.

I believe we are all made of the same mass components as the standard model may describe that God established through the initiation of energy, "Let there be light." The universe unfolded in order for God to have relationship with his creation. To love and to be loved back. Is it perfect? How would we know perfect unless something was imperfect? Is it good? How would we know good if something was not good? Do we have choice? How would we know choice unless there was the opportunity for choice? God can use quantum fields of energy or vacuum or other medium to discern our prayers or intentions, to receive praise or to intervene as God sees fit. To have a grander plan knowing he will ultimately take care of us, his intermediary creations. To keep us striving for our own development and interest while having boundaries we cannot penetrate. What a wonderful experiment for God and we, who have consciousness, get to participate.

Conscious awareness discovering God fullness through language and perhaps other.
I’ve noticed the idea of God usually starts from the a priori assumption that nothing is the normal state and requires an outside entity to create something. But the opposite seems as valid. That something is the natural state of the universe and nothing requires an outside force.
"Something is the natural state of the universe"
Lol how would it be otherwise? It's just a tautological statement. Nothing is the natural state of the universe? Something (the universe) that has a state of *being* that is *nothing* just doesn't exist...
You're like "well it seems that something always existed which was the universe because uhh... clearly the universe exists and is something"
What?
@@thebullybuffalo The arguments for God always start from an a priori assumption that the existence of the universe needs to be explained. That without this explanation, nothingness would prevail. Why should that be so? That the universe has always existed, strikes me as equally valid as the statement, God has always existed.
Actually, Ken, as my book explains, the ancient Greek philosopher Parmenides - the father of modern logic - correctly explained how NOTHINGNESS is absolutely impossible.

@@kencusick6311 the universe eternally existing is an entirely logically possible. It's just that science has shown that the universe began. That's why it needs an explanation - empirically it needs to be explained but there's no logical necessity.

God intervenes by lending us His Voice to guide us out of it. And to ensure that this would ultimately happen, He placed His Voice in our minds. There it patiently waits for us to listen and follow.

@@StallionFernando to be more precise energy and consciousness is everything. Energy also is product of absolute consciousness so consciousness is whole perceptible universe consciousness is component of absolute nothingness. We call that God, nirgun nirakar. Everything originated from that and disappears in that only in cyclic manners.
When we peer out into the Universe with our instruments, we see a violent but structured Universe. From each event, there are infinite possibilities and hence an infinite number of Universes. The uncaused first cause for all these Universes is God and so God does not have to intervene in any of them.

One possibility that wasn’t mentioned is that God intervenes through awareness, not through physical causation. As humans have become more aware, we recognised slavery as wrong, and abolished it, we see animals as sentient, and the environment as fragile and precious - and we act accordingly. We develop compassion. The universe shows no such compassion, so though it can not be separate from God, such a God must have relinquished control for a universe so dispassionate to the pain & suffering of its creatures.
Maybe it’s only by relinquishing control, that free will can exist, as sentient beings become responsible as co-creators of the world - for better of for worse.
I agree with this... We the humans, see our selves like something special... Our existing mean nothing for the Universe... When we realize that, probably our behavior will change to better, for us and for our blue planet, wich is our only and real Creator
There is more slavery in the world today than ever before.
Not "we", just some of us. The rest is paying a lip service to their illusory God, just in case He is real. Doing good, though, is worth it for the sake of goodness itself.
Of course not all of us.... But the majority of the people who want to be a part of the crowd, than their own selves...
OK, Let’s get real.
England abolished slavery and serfdom after the peasant revolt in 1380s.
Slavery in the USA was abolished because the slave states lost the war to continue to use men as slaves. it definitely wasn’t because your god gave anyone awareness.
The queen of England at the time along with the ruling class read the book uncle toms a cabin who helped propelled the abolishment of international slavery.
So no what you said about god giving man awareness about slavery is just poppycock.
I think God intervenes in my life a lot of times. You know it, some things suppose to happen but it didn't because some great force just cloaked you. You know it to yourself. There is no doubt because You can't lie to yourself that it is not what suppose to happen but it seems you have something to do yet so you are still here. I try to find answer myself. That is why I'm listening here. But no doubt there is great force "Personal God" that intervenes in my life.
I also believe in god. Your not alone in that. I think he resides out side of. Our World. Yet he still can. Has power. Over it. ,,
I wonder why this god intervened in your life but, for example, not in the life of a baby with cancer? Were your needs greater? Did they not deserve it but you did?
Or why he cures some children with cancer or other illness (but not all children, just some) yet never, literally never, cures an amputee. Is god unable or has a bias against them?
Is creation real. Yes we create.

These Lutheran theologians are really, really great. ( The first one was the best.) I think Dr. Kuhn has finally found the right answer to his lengthy investigation. The answer to his spiritual search is obvious. Dr. Kuhn should join the Lutheran denomination!!!
Lol no.
I love closer to truth and it’s host Robert, but I can’t help but think this question of how can God intervene in the universe he created. It’s kinda silly if you believe he exist and is the creator of it. Then of course he can at will. I mean if you created something, wouldn’t you be able to interact or affect it at will in some way or fashion? 😳
In this day and age of relativism, it's only fair to ask: Who's rationalizing---the believer, or the nonbeliever?
The ultimate question is not whether aliens exist or not, but whether God exists or not. God is the ultimate being, and confirmation of his existence would be the game changer.

When we assume the Beginning as ABSOLUTE we have to understand it as beyond Time , Space and From. It is neither matter nor non matter. It is beyond existence of the Universal laws. Everything appeared after that . That Absolute Nothingness which includes Everything is beyond our mental perception but not beyond Spiritual experience.
The fact that our mind can't grasp a concept, doesn't mean something MUST have happened in a way we understand. As long as the fundamental randomness of some quantum effects is not disproved, and if spacetime and matter are emergent like some recent studies seem to suggest, causality can't be assumed blindly.
There can't a beginning for the Universe . If there is a beginingit should have started from Something .
Like physical matter, energy evolves. Consciousness arose and it began to create itself through matter.
Neither of those statements are true.
@@StallionFernando you are a thing of phisical matter, "you" evolved. Consiousness evolved by creating you.
@@brydonjesse ok, explain to me how life began or got to earth?
@@StallionFernando okay. Consiousness was thinking about what it was for a very long time, until it thought about something else. It thought about that thing alot moving it and multiplying it creating the fabric of the universe, space and time. As it thought about the thing it combined that special stuff in stars and blew them up (light is a portal or conduit of consiousness) creating the first few elements we see. As time passed and masses climped together stars formed again and exploded again creating the rest of the elements. Our sun and the stuff around had just the right mix or temp, magnetic sphear, and volcanic activity. Many elements mixed in layer upon layer of sediment small chains of molecules collected and assembled in the salt, water, and muck. From there forward thinking drove our precursor forms further and further looking toward the future more and more. Now we think we have individuality, our own consiousness, and that we are separate. Every now and again one gets a glimpse of the true nature of reality ✨ every now and again
It seems to me that we decide what God does.
We want a God who loves us, therefore God loves us.
We want a God who gives us nice things, therefore God gives us nice things.
We want sinners to be punished for ever, therefore God punishes sinners for ever.
Not really. It depends on how any person or religion see's God. People view God differently and project things onto Him. But do not mistake human projections for actual facts. God exists but not necessarily in the way that humans and religions have projected Him to be.
In the Quran 1. the material world is an illusion. 2. Allah relates that he (for lack of another pronoun) 'created your shadow' and THEN created the sun as a proof for it (the shadow). IOW all the images, all the representations available were created independent of each other. The beauty of that is that the illusion is so complete as to make us believe we know the causes. and 3. Allah is here without being here through the laws of the creation. These laws are inviolable by us regardless of the mistaken assumption we can violate them and 'get away with it'. Allah is in control of the creation via these laws that we do indeed study as if they are our religion (science). Does Allah cause things to happen outside of this context...well it doesn't matter and it is not a question anyone can answer and really, asking it is nonsense. Anyone that asks this and expects a tangible proof is a fool. It's fine to ask but it's not going to advance anyone's understanding.
"Then He turned towards the heaven when it was ˹still like˺ smoke, saying to it and to the earth, ‘Submit, willingly or unwillingly.’ They both responded, ‘We submit willingly.’" 41:11. Establishes that whether you like it or not, you will submit. To do so willingly is to submit with reward and to submit unwillingly is to suffer the consequences. So that is the intervention however I am sure that the questioner here isn't really after answers but enjoys the illusion he has created of being an 'active seeker'.
I should add that to ignore the muslims in this video is becoming the norm. Interesting. I should add that ignoring the last message that the Creator sent is seriously wrong. It's the best part of the story. Allah left two things for you to refer to when asking all these questions. 1. the Quran and 2. the Ahlul Bayt. I am sure that none of these people questioned here is able to give you any real good solid answers and well, maybe Kuhn doesn't want them or for you to have them either.
Next episode... we discuss the tooth 🦷 fairy 🧚🏿♀️
The tooth fairy's not real? I put my tooth under my pillow and the next morning there was money there. Something did that! So how can you say the tooth fairy isn't real?
Oh so you're just going to say the tooth fairy was just my parents. Yes you are correct. So it's not that the tooth fairy wasn't real, it's just that what I assumed the tooth fairy to be was incorrect.
So maybe God is real, but but he has a little bit different than many people expect. I don't buy the Trinity. I think that's silly. But in an infinite universe with infinite possibilities, how can there not be a God?
God is not the best and yet not the stupidest concept. I mean how is it any different than simulation theory. It might not be in a specific way as portrayed in many religions. But it's likely that all of the fundamental things have emerged from a single thing.
If God exists these guys are full of it - If God does not exist - these guys are still full of it.

Too bad that this video isn't about wether god exists or not.

People are religious because religiousness helped our ancestors be ‘more fit’ to survive and have offspring.
@@Lolux1701 Think about this, the episode begins with the Host asking a question about god. Next he asks the question to myriad god believers and gets a bunch of different answers. It ends with the host saying he doesn't even know if god exists. He listened to what they had to say and was unconvinced... what's that about?
This is almost a self-contradictory question. The word 'God' is usually taken to mean the creator of the universe, so if there is a 'God' to talk about in the first place they probably created the universe. Why then if some thinks 'God' can create a universe they can't modify it where and when they choose? The question really is "Do you think there is a God who created the universe or not?"
There's nothing wrong here and God is fulfilling every moment in the universe. Nothing to intervene about. Peace be with you always.
As any Spiritual Master would say " Everything is in a mess, but ALL is well".
Up to 7:29 the Herr Professor describes a deistic God. Then it's "God relates to" the world. I ask you, can that 'relates to' have any meaning at all if it doesn't mean some kind of intervention? Can God intervene in the world without contradicting what we think of as the natural world? I think not.
I feel god interact through thoughts .This thoughts impact to surrounding by our acts.
Well, from my perspective, if He has, it hasn't been for the better.
Yes, any time the creator of creation wishes. But what would such an intervention look like, I think, is a better question. Have we thought through the real nature of our existence, does it look like we have a purpose, or a mission and would intervention be limited enough to try to help us along our path without jacking around too much with free will... would breaking the free will paradigm break the whole thing? We are not here and sentient for no reason.
These two different perspectives "god created it perfect and does not need to intervene, comes before all sin" (1) vs. "god created it but needs to intervene and wants to teach his creation, to refine it" (2) - reminds me in quantum physics. There we can not decide whether the state of the system is generated by a direct signal from the subject (in an antirealistic way, like a creator)(2), or if the signal comes from the beginning of all causal chains (in a realistic way, like a creation)(1). Quantum formulism forbids this decision, says it is both, both different approaches with the same empirical results. 🤔
How God intervene - he must as everyone comply the laws of Nature.
The question itself presupposes that it is a necessity that God needs to intervene in the physical universe. If you accept that God's purpose is for us to love him, then God need not necessarily intervene in the physical universe. He could simply sit back and soak up the love we send him in our prayers.
He intervenes constantly in order to have a proper personal relationship. Love is not a one way street.
This, your channel, is a wonderful way to reveal more and more to me, the theory, that each individual is the product of his influenced informations, education, experiences, and biological evolution.

A lot, God is religion, the word God is related with religion. The Creator has nothing to do with religion, in a sense that religion was make believe and written down by men.
It's legitimate to believe if someone wants to believe as long as there is no true knowledge what is true.
And it's also legitimate to doubt and search for the truth about God or a Creator.
Most religious people lose their faith, when they lost someone they loved so much and they needed God to help and they were badly disappointed. That's the moment you doubt the existence of a taught God of love and kindness.
I think the teachings, all kinds of teachings, have manipulated us to a worse way of life, but there's no evidence of a better contrary, unless we realize and learn new ways how to see our world with the true vision and not a told vision from a wrong perspective.
We could then, come closer to the truth about the purpose of our being and maybe answer the question why our universe was created.
The only one evidence that we have, is that everything has to be the way it is. For what reason, is an open question. We can observe an automation of everything, although within can changes happen, it's still the automation. Thankyou for your contribution.
Most theologians do a poor jobs of defending the existence of God.
Problem when people talk about God. People do not define what God is. Then make assertions about God as they understand God. It is not rational.
Southgate is right in saying that a "creature" as the universe, needs to be contingent on God, in order to be a creation. Otherwise, something that needs nothing to be and exists by nature of its own essence, it is God and not a creature. Everything that comes to exist, it is contingent or dependent by definition in its coming to be and function by something else.
Ale Martinez Rojas Yeah i’m pretty sure this is similar to Leibniz’s contingency argument
Are you ready to go beyond mere intellectual speculation? God is the Mind that is ALL. And the Uni-Verse (literally One-Word) is a single empowered THOUGHT of that Mind.

God intervene in "His" own way or through "his" own messingers and soldiers (this includes all his creatures and creation or through inspiration)
Because everything is his there is no one or thing higher
18:26. "God is really doing everything." I find that tantamount to saying ' There is really no nature, no things happening because that is the way they have to happen by their nature. So the world really is a stage. God is the stage and prop manager. No, not even that solid. More like a mirage. If it is a mirage at least God doesn't have to personally hoid up every refrigerator magnet in the universe.
God did not intervine nor bless us when he took our angel son! I'm pissed with G O D
Death is an awful enemy for sure, but I hope I can convince you that GOD didn't take your son. In fact he promises to resurrect or bring back to life everyone who has died. Not in heaven, but right back here on earth, as a human. Sickness, old age and death was never Gods purpose for humans. Satan, Adam and Eve's rebellion caused that, but God immediately set a plan in motion to undo what they did. So you will see your son again. Can I show you the scriptures and reasoning that support this?
@@antiNuetron you can try
@@joeprogrock First of all I’ll say that I know that this doesn’t seem possible.
I didn’t believe the first time I heard.
It took a few years for me to fully come to understand and believe it,
But I’ll try to keep this simple.
Adam and Eve were created to live forever. God warned them though that they would die if they ate the fruit from one tree. Genesis 2:17
The tree just represented Gods right to say what is right and wrong.
So when they ate the fruit, they in effect were saying that they could decide for themselves what was right and wrong and they didn’t need God.
God could have just destroyed them and started over,
But they wouldn’t have solved the issues that they raised or whether they could live without God, so God in effect said “ok, you think you can live without me, I’ll allow time to see if you can,
But because they disobeyed they eventually did die just as God said they would.
Since they were the first two humans, they passed on that imperfection
To all of their children up until our time.
Everyone now dies because of what they did, because we inherited sickness, old age and death from them.
Since that wasn’t Gods original purpose for us,
He set in motion a plan to end it. Thats where Jesus comes in.
He stayed faithful as a perfect man until his death to undo
What Adam did.
God promises to bring the dead, including sinners, back to life on earth (not heaven) for a chance to live again.
Psalm 37:29; Acts 24:15
There is a lot more to this, so if you want to understand better check out this article:
www.jw.org/en/publications/books/good-news-from-god/what-hope-for-the-dead/
Perhaps like most Christians you have a false perception of God. God never promised you would not suffer in this life, in fact most of the characters are plagued with suffering. It will either draw you closer to him or further away, if you push God away then all your pain and suffering becomes completely meaningless, only by seeking him out with suffering have a proper significant purpose.
God does it with radio waves, he has an RC unit similar to what RC cars have but much more godly and the batteries are always full charged.

Humans initially had relied on their imaginations to explain the world and its phenomena as they had no other tools. They have done a great job. We, believers and the non-believers who live in third millennium, are still dealing with their legendary work in different ways and methods. Is it bad that we still attached to the childhood of human mind? it depends on how and why!
Fatin Noor I agree. I would add that all religions want and have written into their texts a God what provides results, that is, a God that will free them from bondage, will be on their side when enemies lurk, will bless them with prosperity, will be faithful to them as long as they praise and believe in him and most importantly a God who promises another chance at life. What if God didn’t do any of those things? What would people feel about such a God? We have basically conjured up a God that is tailored to satisfy our needs.
Except the peculiar thing is that we still find a deeper meaning in child-like imagination and legends than the modern tools can provide. They have created a new legend and we are still like children.
@@jlmer616 it'd sounds like you are trying hard to disprove a thing. Rather than just look at what might be.
I ask God what is his plan. If I don't let him lead me, something happens but in time, I have to go to this process of his plan again. I have to follow so I won't go in the same process. I try to understand his plan in my life so I won't be going through things again and again and learn what he wants.
The traditional Judaic/orthodox Christian/Platonic/Western answer to this question is that the act of creation itself is perpetually total interaction with the universe at all times, since God transcends the universe and time. So, the way the question is formulated, presupposing a superbeing that stands in relation to the universe in such a way that both are subject to a higher order of nature as the medium of interaction, is logically clearly not the traditional definition of the monotheistic creative God.
God isn't related to the world the world is related to God.
There is a plan. Just because our perspective is tiny and we don’t understand the seemingly nasty atrocities committed daily, we should not conclude that our father has rejected his creation. We should remember that the enemy adulterated his creation at the beginning. Intelligent design from our father is beyond the puny claims from science and their convoluted evolution fantasy.
Was telepathy covered? I missed it.
To believe in God is to believe in sentiment. To take the anti-theistic stance is to believe in meaning, ie, the meaning of words. My definition of sentiment is, what should be true is true.

Different vid
Fussing about the god question is of limited utility. It would be more productive to ask how (and why) anything at all can come from nothing. The reason that this question should take precedence is because God himself can only be possible if the void allows it. What is it that compels virtual particles to precipitate from the void? What characteristics must virtual particles acquire, before they become the atoms and molecules that manifest, across time, as matter? Once we satisfy ourselves about the nature of the void, the god question becomes almost incidental. If God exists, then he is beyond our comprehension anyways. To believe or not to believe should be of zero concern, as it was for the Buddha.

0:25 A God who does nothing is not a God. Arthur, the atheist, says that is a very profound insight.
The music is so so bad. Who made that decision? Ugh.
If there is a God, it doesn't intervene in this world at all.
Maybe God can't intervene in the world. I don't think God can mess with free will. He can't do that. That's our choice. We are free to choose our own destiny and God can't interfere with that. But perhaps, God can help us, and instruct us, and show us good things to do. I think of God as like the coach on a basketball team. We are the players on the team and we are on the court of life, God can't interfere with the game, all the coach can do is coach from the sideline. The outcome of the game is up to us.
The magic, is that somehow God still manages to always have the winning team even though he is stuck with imperfect players like us.

This discussion will demand all your imagination possible even though I will be dealing with a LOT of facts. Fact 1: there are two types of people - non believers and believers. They can also be described as being who they 'think' they are - JUST a human(Ego/Fear) OR who they REALLY are (loving fearless eternal souls). Love (eternal fearless souls) will Always Always do the right thing. Fear(Ego) confuses the mind and is the source of ALL heartache and misery on the planet. One of the factors that makes the concept of a world without money difficult for some is their level of consciousness and awareness. Another is their beliefs. If you believe that something is not possible - then it cannot be had. If you believe that it is possible - then it is completely doable. We are creators and life has no choice but to show up the way we believe it will.
From a Spiritual point of view, there are 3 truths that need to be realized that are presently required for a higher consciousness and awareness.
1) We are all ONE. What hurts you hurts us ALL. What helps you heals us ALL.
2) There is more than enough for EVERYONE. This is easy to see if all resources were shared equitably.
3) in this life you have NO obligations. You have ONLY opportunities. You did enough by just being born.
Is this enough for a starting point in our conversation? The subject is vast but with a little imagination, it is doable. Please give me some feedback to this so far. I need it to know what direction to go from here.
PS. I am a believer. I have no choice. God has worked miracles through me with witnesses and many more without witnesses. I interact with Him everyday. In January 2008 He gave me a job description that says " I am sending you out by the Power of my Spirit to Release those bound by Fear, to Proclaim Forgiveness, and to Show Love to ALL men". I don't have to like you but it is necessary that I love you. The greatest stumbling block for mankind is all it's Egos and the Fear that is inherent with Egos.
I look forward to a conversation or debate with you - your choice. Bless you.

The question "how could God intervene in the Universe" denotes a belief in separation.
When one studies physics, biology or even theology (comparative religions) it is obvious that any separation is ultimately illusory.
All is one. My suggestion is to read the Pratyabhijnahrdayam coupled to the teachings of Jesus or the Gospel of Thomas.

What is the difference between nature and our conception of nature? However that is, God intervening in the universe destroys nature, or our conception of nature. So, what would a non-natural universe have to be, in the broadest sense?

Psychedelics do indeed help a person to see the illusory nature of perception.

The biggest barrier to the reality of any God is that it is inconceivable that an immaterial entity could create or interact with the material.
Do you always trust your intuitions? Are quantum mechanics and General Relativity intuitive to you? Based on research, it's more plausible that this Universe had a beginning, rather than being eternal. Which is more plausible? 1. The non temporal, non corporeal, eternal God created the Universe or 2. The Universe created itself.
Interact telepathically, and without our awareness. “It was just a thought”. 😬
@@jy1733 Feelings and intuitions are not reliable in understanding reality. The brain easily can fool us. It was intuitive that objects are solid, the Sun revolves around the Earth, etc. Research does show that it is more plausible that OUR universe had a beginning BUT QM and GR point strongly to the plausibility of an eternal multiverse. This makes it plausible that OUR universe spontaneously came from quantum inflation.
Do you question claims? How do you verify that your beliefs are true?
@@stinkertoy4310 , it's still inconceivable. We only know our physical/material reality. There is no evidence for anything else. Put that against the inconceivable and the theist has quite an uphill chore in supporting belief in a supernatural.
You're an immaterial entity who is identifying with matter because of intimately interacting with it. The power of interaction is "prāṇa," which is explained here: www.ashishdalela.com/2017/01/28/what-is-prana/
For example, the zoonosis of the corona virus is the logical consequence of our (unworthy) behavior (towards the living), and this is the same as the (direct or indirect) "will of God". "God" is the life itself ("I am the life!") which can pull itself even out of the nothing, and it organizes itself, for which we are something like building bricks. It "speaks" even in a bush to us and says: 'Do u know, who I am? I am the eternal life!' And it said what it is going to do. So, how Newton warned: be careful with your judgment and conclusions about the future abilities of the living! In science the real living is already subtracted from the calculation! ☝️
